Outright Assignments: 8/3/25

By Mark Polishuk | August 3, 2025 at 4:46pm CDT

Here’s the latest on a few players recently designated for assignment, and now removed from their clubs’ 40-man rosters…

  • The Yankees announced that outfielder Bryan De La Cruz has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A.  Because De La Cruz has more than three years of Major League service time, he has the right to elect free agency rather than accept the outright assignment, so it remains to be seen if he’ll remain in the organization.  A regular with the Marlins from 2022-24, De La Cruz has struggled badly since a deadline trade to the Pirates last year, and his only MLB work in 2025 came in the form of 16 games with the Braves.  New York claimed De La Cruz off waivers from Atlanta in May and the outfielder has hit .251/.323/.438 over 229 plate appearances for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
  • The Mariners outrighted Collin Snider to Triple-A after the right-hander cleared waivers.  This is the first time Snider has been outrighted, and since he also doesn’t have the required amount of MLB service time, he’ll have to report to Triple-A rather than consider electing free agency.  An underrated bullpen arm for the Mariners in 2024, Snider struggled to a 5.47 ERA in 26 1/3 innings this year and hasn’t pitched since a right forearm flexor strain sent him to the injured list two months ago.  Snider had begun a minor league rehab assignment but he is out of minor league options, so the Mariners had to pursue the DFA/outright route rather than activate Snider directly back onto the 26-man roster.
  • The Phillies announced that right-handers Brett de Geus and Devin Sweet both cleared waivers and have been outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.  The two pitchers were each designated on deadline day to create roster space for new acquisitions Harrison Bader and Matt Manning.  De Geus made a single appearance with Philadelphia this season, and he has now tossed 63 1/3 innings over 61 career games at the big league level, posting a 7.39 ERA across his three seasons.  Sweet has a 10.38 ERA over 8 2/3 career innings with the Mariners and A’s, all during the 2023 season.  Both pitchers have previous outrights on their resume, so they can each elect free agency rather than accept the assignment to Triple-A.

    The Mets need to release Stanek in the worst way, can’t possibly be worse than Pressley

      There is no E in Pressly but you wouldn’t want him on the team if you saw him pitch this season. He’s toast

    Snider would have been a nice pickup for somebody, he was a 7th inning leverage arm for Seattle last season resurrected off the reclamation pile. Ran into some injury bug this season but I still think he has it. Like him better than Legumina in the pen anyways.

      I don’t understand why the Twins didn’t claim him or somebody else. The bullpen is barren after moving 5 arms at the deadline and they still have multiple open 40-man roster spots even after selecting the contracts of Ersamo Ramirez & Jose Ureña

    Mariners need to DFA relief pitcher Legumina asap. IMO, he is the weakest link in their bullpen.

      I agree that he should only be pitching in blowouts and that he would have been DFA if Dipoto hadn’t lost out on the relievers he underbid to get, but at this point, who do you bring up to replace Legumina? There’s no one in Tacoma doing any better.

      Yeah he can be dicey but he has a decent strikeout rate I believe and he can look impressive in spots. He’s not an abject horror show, I think he stays for now. I think Thornton was the guy that was most volatile and made me nervous. I hope Taylor figures it out in Tacoma because he sure was an asset late last season in leverage.
